Farming Today This Week: Vegan debate

The number of vegans in the UK is estimated to have increased more than threefold in the last decade. Charlotte Smith hosts a panel discussion about what this may mean for farmers.

There are thought to be more than three times as many vegans in the UK as there were ten years ago. In this programme, Charlotte Smith hosts a panel discussion about the reasons for the rise, and its implications for British farmers. Is it a threat or an opportunity? On the panel: Juliet Gellatley from the vegan campaigning organisation, Viva! ; Minette Batters from the National Farmers Union; writer and environmental activist Mark Lynas; animal welfare expert Professor John Webster from Bristol University.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
